Are you experiencing a host of frustrating electrical issues in your 2001 GM truck or SUV? Problems like power windows that won’t budge, interior lights with a mind of their own, or a security light that stays on can often be traced back to a single component: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can create a cascade of seemingly unrelated problems. This replacement BCM, part number 09392990, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and peace of mind.
We take the guesswork and hassle out of the repair process. Unlike a standard replacement part that requires a trip to the dealership for expensive programming, this module arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We install the latest GM software updates, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. This makes the installation process as straightforward as possible, getting you back on the road quickly without the need for specialized diagnostic tools for programming.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operate intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light stays illuminated, potentially causing a no-start condition.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flicker, stay on, or fail to turn on.
- ✔ The radio or climate control system behaves erratically.
- ✔ Dashboard gauges give inaccurate readings or stop working altogether.
- ✔ You hear a persistent clicking sound from under the dashboard.

Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is designed for straightforward installation, some vehicle systems may require a recalibration procedure after the BCM is replaced. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a technician will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that manages and controls electronic accessories not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and the radio.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. Since we pre-program the module to your VIN, you avoid the most difficult step, which is software programming. However, some post-installation relearn procedures may require a professional scan tool.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your module without it. You can typically find your VIN on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a plate on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This part has no core charge, so you can keep your original module without any extra fees or hassle.
Will this part fit my 2001 Chevy Tahoe?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a range of 2001 GM trucks and SUVs, including the Tahoe, Silverado, Sierra, and Suburban, as long as the part number matches. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific model and options.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A repair shop with a professional-grade scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve the light.
